Thread: IF Lewis comes back, he gets a title shot after Vitali and before Peter.

"For Lewis-Klitschko II to take place, Vitali would have to first defeat WBC champ Oleg Maskaev. WBC president Jose Sulaiman said Lewis would be granted "champion emeritus" status, which according to WBC rules could give Lewis an immediate shot at the title, bypassing hard luck mandatory challenger Sam Peter yet again. "

Man, Peter is really getting screwed by circumstance if Lewis comes back now...

No doubt it'd be good for the sport to have a "name" like Lewis or Vitali holding a belt, but goddamn.
Seems the more Peter does, the further his chances at a title shot seem to be. How can that be legal.

Peter has paid his sanctioning fees twice, and gone through a rematch which he himself did not think was called for. Its barmy that Vitali has announced coming back, but for Lewis to it too at 41?! I still cant quite comprehend Lewis actually going through with this!

I feel so sorry for Sam peter but i think if Lennox fights Klitchko he stops him in 8 takes the big money and retires again a 4 time champ and peter gets his shot fighting Vitali for vacant belt and hopefully he stops him too for making him wait so long

Well, there's really only one way to settle this once and for all.













Triple threat match

I dont think either Vitali nor Lewis (If he is really coming back) are going to stick around...If Peter is to step back it would be so unfair if Lewis and Vitali were to bow out and not a allow Peter his crack after all his waiting. i can see it happening though!

Good comment Miles and in my opinion with how Sam Peter as been performing lately he would beat either of these guys at this point in there careers

Neither have fought in a heck of a long time. We have little to measure them against really...Peter would have every chance now IMO...

Exactly, and thats what im inclined to go with right now. Lewis always seemed far too sensible for this carry on. He himself said to Jonathan Ross: "The hunger isnt there". His retirement seemed very for real. Lets wait and see. There has been specualation before...
